Thank you to Ellesea for letting me share an excerpt from my book bundle A Wedding in Cornwall: Books 7-12. The scene below comes from the novella An American in Cornwall. The heroine, an event planner in Cornwall named Julianne, is having lunch and discussing summer plans with her co-worker Gemma and their employer, who is affectionately known as Lady Amanda.
"Where is the shop your friend is minding?" asked Lady Amanda. After all, Aimee's own beloved secondhand store was in Seattle, the city where she and I had bonded, the same place I had returned to in order to keep her business alive and thriving while Aimee recovered from surgery. Since then, my friend had become part of an independent shop owners group online, where she volunteered as part of their global ‘shop sitting’ challenge. For the next six months, her store in Seattle would be managed by a fellow antiques shop owner from Toronto while, thanks to Aimee, the owner of the Little Shop of Yesteryear in Cornwall was finally getting their chance to cruise Spain in a long overdue holiday.
"The village is named St. Petroc," I answered. "It's a few miles from the actual coast, but it's not terribly far from Newquay."
"I'm familiar with it," said Lady Amanda. "Near Bodmin, actually. Will has some distant cousins who settled there ages ago. The Samuels family. I think some of them moved to the neighboring village years ago, although I'm rather behind on the news from the Christmas greetings."
"The Samuels family. I've never heard of them," I said.
"You will if you go there," said Lady Amanda — but in a way that suggested this wasn't a flattering truth for his cousins, whoever they be. "But I've heard it's a very charming little spot despite their presence. Be sure to see the Monk's Tower while you're there. Every tourist visits it, I'm told."
"Isn't Matt on holiday with you, Julianne?" suggested Gemma. Saucily, I noted. All this talk about couples and holiday escapes had clearly influenced her question.
"No," I answered. "He's working near Penzance. I probably won't see much of him while I'm away." I regretted this part, since it was the one thing that would make my time in Newquay less than perfect, although it would hardly be a 'hen holiday' for me and Aimee if I had wheedled Matt into accompanying me. I had promised my best friend that it would be the two of us, the way it used to be in our 'single in Seattle' years ... well, in between Aimee's dates and my dull relationship with Dwight, that is.
"Pity," said Lady Amanda. "It can be rather romantic, riding the waves of Newquay with the salt spray and the wind in one's hair. Or so I've heard from friends who love to surf."
"I don't think I'd make much of a surfer," I replied. "I'll save my balance for climbing the manor's ladders."
